This is just to say
I'm still doing canon review. Only for a new character, which has brought me to some pages I haven't seen for a bit, and reminded me forcibly that as much as I hate Mr Personality, I also hate Eyebrows Of Steel with the burning passion of a thousand infernos.
Fuck, I'd forgotten that Yvette literally knows her husband is banging Lilith and Atros' way of dealing with it is "well I will control your schedule so the two of you never see each other!" ATROS WITH YOU IT ALWAYS BOILS DOWN TO TELLING PEOPLE THEIR FEELINGS ARE INCONVENIENT, DOESN'T IT? Though in fairness that can also be said of Reed. And Rhys, to a lesser extent. What I'm saying is, fuckers. Anyway, I can't believe Yvette puts up with this shit and has evidently been putting up with it for actual years and yet we're supposed to think she's a spoiled brat for maybe possibly not wanting her husband to be openly fucking someone else and ignoring her constantly.
Also, page 62. Linneus: "I've spent the last eight years [!!] wondering if 'whore' was all you saw when you looked at me. Thank you for finally confirming it." Just putting that out there.
Speaking of which, in case you thought those lines being in canon meant we were supposed to sympathize with Linneus and think maybe this is a fucked up situation...
"As sad as this page was to draw/color... it's going to be sadder to read all the angry "ATROS YOU DESERVE THIS" posts."
Fucking nope. Atros, you came home from posh asshole school and decided to jump to fucking conclusions about the supposed love of your life, and have been punishing him for EIGHT FUCKING YEARS for a decision you never bothered to ask him about, and now you're punishing him for responding to your slutshaming by fucking everyone but you. And when he calls you on your shit then I'm supposed to care about YOUR feelings? NOPE.
Also, gems from Claret: "Atros says if I'm going to be a useless courtesan I might as well do something that's useful." Charming human being. Really. Are you moist? I'm moist. (I'm not moist)
ETA: Page 71. My characterization is motherfucking flawless.
